Shillong: Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma says the border dispute between Assam and Meghalaya remains under control. He dismissed reports of tension in border villages while attending the Behdienkhlam festival in Jowai this week. Ties are steady.
Sarma stays in contact with Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K. Sangma and Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong. The leaders use open communication to fix local issues as they appear. The goal is to avoid conflict through ongoing cooperation.
"We keep meeting each other. The channel of discussion is always open, and there is no friction. Whenever an issue comes up, we resolve it immediately in a spirit of friendship," Sarma told reporters.
The two states ended a long fight over six of 12 disputed areas in March 2022. Attention now shifts to the remaining six sectors: Langpih, Borduar, Nongwah-Mawtamur, Deshdemoreah, Block I and Block II, and Psiar-Khanduli. Meghalaya recently rebuilt its regional committees to gather input from residents in these areas. The teams will study ground conditions and send recommendations to help finish the second phase of talks.
